Embracing Growth
It is in the resonance of people encountering each other in the fullness of their humanity that the melodies of a new creative energy unfold. – Daisaku Ikeda, 2016 Peace Proposal
Self love is an anchor to which I hold the power to grow into the person I always needed. As I choose to turn my experiences into a gift for the world, offering kindness and to model resilience it truly changes my perspective on how I approach not only my inner growth but how I interact with others. What I think about grows!
Healing and growing not just to erase the past but learning from it by applying the knowledge and wisdom of our experience of The Master Key System so we can break cycles, inspire change, lead with empathy, and rewrite the narrative is to create a better present and future life for all. In essence, to answer the call of becoming the role model we might have missed.
To be the adult I needed as a child holds profound wisdom of growth and self reflection. Being gentle with myself invites me to pause, and think twice about previous struggles, dreams and set healthy boundaries for unmet needs; thereby nudging me toward a powerful realization full of light, and renewed prosperity on this Hero’s Journey knowing that we all have the ability to offer ourselves and others what we once yearned for. I can be what I will to be.
In the first place, we must put our knowledge into practice. Nothing can be accomplished in any other way. The athlete may read books and lessons on physical training all his life, but unless he begins to give out strength by actual work he will never receive any strength; he will eventually get exactly what he gives; but he will have to give it first.
It is exactly the same with us; we will get exactly what we give, but we shall have to give it first. It will then return to us many fold, and the giving is simply a mental process, because thoughts are causes and conditions are effects; therefore in giving thoughts of courage, inspiration, health or help of any kind we are setting causes in motion which will bring about their effect.
Thought is a spiritual activity and is therefore creative, but make no mistake, thought will create nothing unless it is consciously, systematically, and constructively directed; and herein is the difference between idle thinking, which is simply a dissipation of effort, and constructive thinking, which means practically unlimited achievement. – Charles Haanel, The Master Key System
